Sunlight informs your circadian rhythm and trains you to sleep at night. Your cell phone light can throw this off balance and damage your sleep habits.

Some brain signals once thought to be "noise" actually encode useful information. Lessons from the physics of flow encourage us to reconsider these unpredictable signals and now scientists are finding uses for them in medicine.

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter with a unique life cycle and method of transportation across neurons.

Your brain has a powerful connection to the vast neuronal network in your gut via the vagus nerve. This ties your digestive tract to mood, cognition, and brain physiology, so researchers are interested in the microbiome as a therapeutic target for mental health and more.

Neurons cannot release their neurotransmitters without calcium, making this remarkable mineral crucial for everything we do — from movement, to memory, and more.

Help your students create videos about the brain and nervous system.

The blood-brain barrier protects your brain by ensuring the important things stay in while pathogens stay out.

Join Professor Amelie and Professor Rosie as they share how tiny cells in our brains called neurons talk to each other to power our brains.

Learning things can be hard work, but your brain is up to the challenge. Understanding the processes involved in learning can be key to doing it with ease.

Circadian rhythms encourage our systems to operate on a 24-hour cycle, resulting in changes in mood and cognition when disrupted.
